This problem is easy to reproduce. The thing is that KMail sometimes produces PS file which gs has serious problems to convert to pdf.
Try to use "killgs" file from attachment (which is a PS file produced by KMail) and run the same command which the print subsystem uses for PS->PDF conversion: gs -q -dSAFER -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/tmp/your_output.pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -c .setpdfwrite -f '/tmp/killgs' (of course save the attachment as /tmp/killgs) This problem is more serious as it looks. If you have such a PS file in your directory and you try to browse that directory with konqueror then the same thing happens (all CPU + memory occupied) because konqueror tries to make a thumbnail of that file using gs. ** Attachment added: "PS output from KMail" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8605942/killgs -- printing from kmail is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119331 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
